Caterpillar Abuse

Will found a fuzzy yellow caterpillar on one of our trees today.  He caught it and was looking at it closely through the glass jar.  He called me outside and asked me "Are those little black like things just dirt or is that his eyes?  Because if those are his eyes, somebody must have beat him up!"

He then asked if the caterpillar was male or female so he could give it an appropriate name.  If anyone has any expertise on determining the sex of a caterpillar, let me know!   : )
